About brissygal

brissygal has 27 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in Oncology/Haematology/Stem Cell Transplant, Med/Sur.


I love traveling, exploring new destinations, meeting new people. Nursing has been a great career choice. I am currently back in Australia - after 5 years nursing in the USA - loved it and want to go again. I have a Bachelor Nursing (equivalent to BSN), M.P.H and now want to pursue my career towards Critical Care. (I have worked in array of clinical settings - predominately Oncology/Hematology/ Stem Cell Transplant, Med/Surg, Peds, Spinal Injuries, Urology, Respiratory, PACU and Case Management).
